Looks like a straight 25% increase to me. Where does this "40%
redemption of budget deal" come into it? 40% of what?

I'm working on a spreadsheet that I need to give an additional amount showing
an increase in the budget amount based on a 40% redemption of the budget. On
this spreadsheet in a previous year someone figured this using a calculator
and entered it manually in the spreadsheet rather than using a formula. I
don't know how to figure it manually much less use a formula. I've been
trying to come up with it based on what they had but can't. They had a
budget of 50,000 and and came up with an increase amount of 62,500. I don't
know how they came up with that.
